Hey Amorymeltzer,

Something has changed regarding the software and it’s causing number only usernames like mine to load slowly and give inaccurate results. Hope you are able to fix when you return. 1989 (talk) 03:18, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

See phab:T240808. 1989 (talk) 07:13, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the follow-up, glad to see there's a fix in the works. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 14:29, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Tech News: 2019-51

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

• The Linter extension helps you find technical errors in articles. It did not show new changes last week. This was because of an API problem. It is now working again. [1]
• Special:Watchlist can show the wrong information again. It does not always show which edits are read and which are unread. This is because of a database problem. The developers are working on solving the problem. [2]

Changes later this week

• You can get email notifications. You can get them immediately, a summary every day or a summary once every week. If you choose a summary you can soon choose not to get notifications you have already marked as read on the wiki. [3]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 December. It will be on all wikis from 19 December (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 18 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The partial blocks feature is now stable. It will come to most wikis on 6 January. Your wiki can ask to wait. Contact NKohli (WMF) if you don't want it now. [4]

Closing.

Hi, I would like to request the definitive closure of this account, as I no longer intend to be an active user. Thanks. Yiucjb50 (talk) 02:32, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Nothing more needed, then, you can just stop editing. I saw that Discospinster mentioned you could request a block, but I wouldn't grant a selfblock, so simply walking away is all you need. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:04, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

The fact is that I would like to close my account so that I can't log in again (infinite block). However I only have one question to ask: If I try to make the same request to another administrator who takes this type of request into consideration, is there any possibility that my request will be accepted? Yiucjb50 (talk) 15:32, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Possibly, but I would think most wouldn't. Self blocks are typically for specific lengths for specific purposes for established accounts. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:17, 19 December 2019 (UTC) ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:17, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for the suggestion, I will enroll in the anti-vandalism academy! --Sir Bond 007 (James The Bond 007) (talk) 13:43, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
